Grand Design Base

"Strap in, son." the gecko spoke. Lecko pulled the belt towards the buckle, but held it in his pocket instead. The duo were on the last escape pod and were about to take off. The timer began to countdown as the doors started to close. Lecko suddenly kicked himself towards the exit. "What are you doing?!"

"I'm sorry, father. Goodbye." the ship fired away and into the sea. Lecko turned away and pulled out his cape, visor, and second Siphon Sword. "I'm sorry, father, but I can't leave my friends here. Maybe one day, we will meet again. Hopefully." Lecko began his long run to the beachside.

"So the rumors are true." the HEDGEHOG spoke, his voice the same as his counterpart's. "Ever since Sonic came back to the base, he kept blaming his defeat on the three of us, but it was when Espio started saying the same things, I knew something was wrong. It's a good thing that Metal Robotnik attached a tracking device to your excuse of a ship. The best part is, we now know the location of the Grand Design base."

"You can know it all you want, but it's going to self-destruct in ten minutes." Endigo said calmly. "We're here to make sure you don't stop it."

"In that case, let's just do what we all know is inevitable." KNUCKLES replied, going into a battle stance.

The hedgehogs charged at each other and began. Shadow slammed his fist into his opposites side, but it didn't do anything. "You fool. My scans show that you and Endigo have barely been out of hibernation. As for your Knuckles, he hasn't had any real training. And it appears that you haven't either." the HEDGEHOG grabbed Shadow's face and rammed his knee into it. The dark hero was knocked out on impact, the blood coming from his nose.

"Shadow!" the echidna yelled, which was a big mistake. KNUCKLES went in with a quick jab-hook combo. The red warrior fell to the knees, trying to catch his breath. "You are pathetic." the ECHIDNA jumped into the air and kicked Knuckles into Shadow.

The three Generals turned on Endigo a pulled out three Chaos Emeralds, one black, one indigo, and one red. "What the…" the trio quickly made a triangle around the fox and yelled "CHAOS TRINITY!!!" they were suddenly connected by beams of light. Endigo found that he couldn't move. In a few seconds, a laser shot from each of the Generals, hitting the fox. He cried in pain as he was launched into his friends.

"Let's finish this." SHADOW said. As they walked towards their counterparts and prepared to destroy them, a large ship flew at the heroes. "What the hell is that!?" the ship sent a large claw and grabbed the heroes. "Oh no you don't." the HEDGEHOG was ready to attack when the bombs went off. As THEY were engulfed in flames, the ship flew away with no distinct destination.
